PRG Mbox - Playout; Restart

80
MBOX® USER MANUAL
Looping - Playback between In and Out-Frame begins with the initially-selected le in a folder, automatic sequential
transitions (using layer’s transition type and time) happen until the Out-Frame of the last movie in the folder is reached.
At which point the movie will loop to the In-Frame of the rst movie in the selected folder.
SMPTE - A valid movie folder/le must be selected to initiate playback. This movie will stay paused on its In-Frame
until timecode reaches the start of any movie in the folder. At which point the incoming timecode value will trigger the
playback of the movie with the matching time.
Guidelines for Kiosk modes:
+ The two non-SMPTE Kiosk modes use the layer’s current crossfade type and time when switching from one piece of
content to the next. These two modes require the rst desired piece of content in the folder to be selected.
+ The SMPTE Kiosk mode requires any valid SMPTE-linked piece of content in a folder to be selected; this should
typically be the rst piece of content desired. Folders for use with SMPTE Kiosk mode should not include any non-
SMPTE linked content. It is also a good idea to make the rst and last frames of any SMPTE-linked content black to
avoid an undesirable paused frame while the layer waits for the appropriate SMPTE to initiate playback.
+ The SMPTE Kiosk mode requires the use of the MediaInfo.plist or MediaTimeCodes.plist for assignment of start
times for the individual les. (Refer to “Timecode Synchronization” on page 103) It is not compatible with the layer
TC DMX Controls.
Playout
Playout modes allow the playhead to skip ahead to a predetermined point before the end of the movie. The Playmode
value should be returned to its prior value afterwards, therefore this playmode works best as a temporary setting, as with
a bump button on a console.
5 Seconds - playback position will skip ahead to ve seconds from the end of the movie.
10 Seconds - playback position will skip ahead to ten seconds from the end of the movie.
15 Seconds - playback position will skip ahead to fteen seconds from the end of the movie.
20 Seconds - playback position will skip ahead to twenty seconds from the end of the movie.
30 Seconds - playback position will skip ahead to thirty seconds from the end of the movie.
The time values above represent the default values. Playout points can be modied on the Preferences tab of either
Mbox and Mbox Remote. The preference is called “Playout Points” and the format is in whole numbered seconds (ve
separate values).
Restart
Restart Movie from In-Frame - This playmode always returns the playhead to the current In-Frame point. The Playmode
value should be returned to its prior value after a restart is triggered, therefore this playmode works best as a temporary
setting, as with a bump button on a console.
